Getting Started
Getting started overview
VectorData monitors BigQuery freshness and cost signals plus dbt run health — metadata and artifacts only. This path gets you from signup to a working morning queue.
Steps
Create a workspace
Open /start, pick a plan, and create your Vectornosis workspace. You can explore with demo data before any warehouse credentials.
Connect BigQuery
Add a read-only service account scoped to the datasets you want watched. VectorData uses table metadata and job statistics — not result rows.
Connect dbt
Upload a run_results artifact or configure the dbt webhook so failed models and tests land in the same queue.
Confirm your first alert
Trigger a test alert or use the demo broken-run walkthrough, then confirm delivery to your inbox or Slack destination.
Verify
- You can open the command center at /app
- At least one watched table or demo dataset appears
- A test alert or demo incident shows in Watchdog
